Stephen 'tWitch' Boss showed no signs of distress the day before his death
Stephen "tWitch" Boss was reportedly not "visibly upset" when he checked into the motel at which he died by suicide. Employees at the Oak Tree Inn, which is only one mile from Boss' house in Encino, California, told TMZ that he arrived on December 12, requesting a room for one night. It was after Boss missed his checkout time on December 13 when staffers entered his room, discovering him dead in the bathroom from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Reportedly, no employee at the motel heard the sound of the gun firing. The DJ and dancer had checked in with one small bag — and the motel's manager informed Radar that police confiscated the bag in hopes of finding a possible suicide note.
The "So You Think You Can Dance" alum also showed no signs of distress in his last Instagram post, shared on December 10. Celebrating his ninth wedding anniversary with his wife Allison Holker, Boss captioned a sweet photo carousel of their wedding day pictures by writing, "Happy anniversary, my love @allisonholker #9years." Moreover, Holker herself shared on December 11 a heartwarming video via Instagram of Boss dancing in front of an ornate Christmas tree and presents. "HOLIDAY SUNDAY FUNDAY DANCE !!! With my lover," Holker affectionately wrote.
